Wikipedia has a page about Swinford Toll Bridge
Swinford Toll Bridge is a privately owned toll bridge across the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England. It crosses the river just above Eynsham Lock, between the village of Eynsham on the west bank and the hamlet of Swinford on the east bank (in Berkshire until 1974). It carries the B4044 road between Oxford and Eynsham, which was the A40 road until the Eynsham bypass was completed in 1936.
